Robin

Who knew your pain? Who knew your grief? Who knew your life would be so brief? You came along in hurried flight and disappeared into the night The joy you gave the smiles you've sown are turned to tears since you have flown I've come so close to where you've gone but many more went further on to that dark place by their own hand And, sad to say I understand I cannot judge for I could see inside of you a bit of me Thank you Robin for the laughter we will miss you ever after The curtain's down the crowd has gone the memories will linger on The tearful clown has left the stage and sadly we must turn the page © Mike Wise 8/14/14

I loved Robin Williams from Mork and Mindy on, but especially in Patch Adams, for I felt we were seeing him in real-time. What a TERRIFIC tribute!
